2	Secretary LaHood’s Priorities Safety: improve public health and safety by reducing transportation-related fatalities and injuries. State of Good Repair: ensure the U.S. proactively maintains its critical transportation infrastructure in a state of good repair. Economic Competitiveness: promote transportation policies and investments that bring lasting and equitable economic benefits to the nation and its citizens Livable Communities: foster livable communities through place-based policies and investments that increase transportation choices and access to transportation services Environmental Sustainability: advance environmentally sustainable policies and investments that reduce carbon and other harmful emissions from transportation sources

4	Crash Causation
5	Vision for Future Transportation System Multi-modal surface transportation system—with connectivity as its central core. Vehicles (cars, trucks, buses, fleets of all kinds), the infrastructure and mobile devices, but remembering people and goods. Leveraging technology to maximize safety, mobility, accessibility, reliability sustainability and social equity—enabled through wireless communications—in all modes. First priority is safety: crash and injury prevention. Foster technological advances across borders—for benefit of all international partners. Open platform for innovation: vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications is the major driving technology.
6	State of the U.S. DOT ITS Program Strong and getting stronger! More cross modal—rail and maritime Cars, trucks, buses, fleets, and vehicles of all kinds Commitment to dedicated short range communications (DSRC) Increased outreach and involvement of stakeholders: states, public, private, OEMs, suppliers and after-market Broadening of participation of public and private sectors and universities First ITS Fellow International cooperation and standards harmonization April 11, 2011

10	A World With Connected Vehicles and Travelers
11	Potential to Address 75% of Crashes
12	Opportunity for Transformational Safety: V2V and V2I Greater situational awareness Vehicles can “see” nearby vehicles and know roadway conditions that are not visible Reduce or even eliminate crashes through: Driver advisories Driver warnings Vehicle control
13	Vehicle Based Solutions: Rear End Crashes
14	Vehicle Based: Lane Departure Crashes
15	Vehicle Based: Intersection Crashes
16	Vehicle Based: Lane Change Crashes
17	Vehicle Based: Back Over Crashes
18	Vehicle Based: Opposite Direction
19	Safety Pilot 2011-2013 Major field test and real world implementation Multiple vehicle types: cars, fleets, trucks, buses Fully integrated systems & aftermarket devices Prototype security mechanisms Certification processes Goals Support real world V2V & V2I applications with data rich environment Establish benefits data in support of NHTSA 2013 Agency Decision Public awareness & determine user acceptance Outcomes Benefits and user acceptance data for supporting future federal actions Archived road network data for supporting mobility, environmental, and other research Multiple supplier sources for devices and infrastructure Better understanding of the operational policy issues associated with the deployment of V2V and V2I
20	Safety Pilot: Model Deployment
21	Build V to I Safety, Mobility, and AERIS Data Environments and Applications V to I for Safety – Accelerate Signal Phase and Timing (SPAT) Based Applications, Smart Roadside, and Transit Prototype the Data Environment of the Future – All Vehicles as Probes and Open Data Prototype, Field Test and Analyze Mobility Applications Use Open Source Software Approach to accelerate deployment Define and Test AERIS Applications
22	Deployment Acceleration U.S. DOT is striving to accelerate deployment and innovation in partnership with stakeholders and implementers Mainstreaming ITS technologies that have known benefits Performance measurement and rigorous evaluation Collaboration among transportation agencies and industry Considering Competitive Challenge Opportunities Low cost High visibility Intended to assist deployers
23	We Need You: Policy and Technology
24	Commitment to Workforce Development Not just technology or policy – the people are important We are serious about the need to attract, recruit, orient, retain, develop, and mentor a diverse, engaged, collaborative, and high performance workforce: In collaboration with stakeholders, launch a multimodal workforce development initiative that anticipates demographic shifts Increase the education and training level of the workforce

26	ITS Video Challenge: Tell Your Story The Challenge Grab your camera and show us how ITS deployment is making a difference in your community Sponsored by RITA, FHWA and FTA. How To Enter Tell your story highlighting an ITS success story: how did you do it? How did you convince the decision makers? Did you measure the benefits? Who were your partners? How can someone reach you to try to replicate it in their community? Include highway, freight, transit, pedestrian, bicycle, rail, urban, rural, north, south, east and west! Post your video on YouTube and send us the link (open@dot.gov) before July 1, 2011 Describe your deployment, success in highlighting benefits, be creative! Judging and Awards USDOT and stakeholders such as AASHTO, APTA and ITS America Winners will be recognized in various ways and top prizes will include travel to the ITS World Congress in Orlando, October 2011 More Information See www.its.dot.gov very soon!
